Definitions

  • the present invention relates to non load-bearing partitions used in buildings, and in particular, to panels and panel methods involving panels with multiple layers.
  • the studs, headers, and footers may be steel framing members especially adapted for this purpose.
  • the metal studs may have punched holes to provide chases for utility lines (plumbing and electrical). Again, sheetrock can be installed over the metal studs with apertures to allow access to plumbing and electrical lines as needed.
  • MgO boards made from a magnesium oxide mineral (MgO boards) are sometimes used instead of sheetrock, and are sometimes used in exterior applications. MgO boards are fairly waterproof, fire resistant, and resistant to mold, fungus, and insects.
  • Structural insulated panels are commercially available and typically employ an insulating foam core sandwiched between facings made of oriented strand board (OSB).
  • OSB oriented strand board
  • a panel including an insulating barrier having an opposing pair of sides.
  • the insulating barrier includes a first stratum and a second stratum having a first plurality of ridges and a second plurality of ridges, respectively.
  • the first and the second plurality of ridges face each other.
  • the first plurality of ridges runs athwart the second plurality of ridges.
  • One or more adjacent pairs of the first plurality of ridges have between them clearance providing a mechanical chase across at least most of the panel.
  • the panel also includes a cladding overlaying the insulating barrier on at least one of the opposing pair of sides.
  • the cladding has a density exceeding that of the first and the second stratum
  • a method for utilizing a panel to be fabricated from a first material and a second material.
  • the method includes the step of forming from the first material a pair of strata each having a plurality of ridges. Another step is attaching the plurality of ridges of one of the pair of strata to the plurality of ridges of the other one of the pair of strata, with the plurality of ridges of one of the pair of strata transverse to the plurality of ridges of the other one of the pair of strata.
  • the method also includes the step of externally cladding the pair of strata using the second material.
  • a method for installing a utility feed in a cladded panel having a central pair of strata each with parallel grooves.
  • the grooves of one of the pair of strata being opposed and transverse to the grooves of the other one of the pair of strata.
  • the method includes several steps, performed in any order. One step is mounting the cladded panel in a building structure. Another step is routing the utility feed along one of the grooves of one of the pair of strata.
  • a foam insulating barrier is cladded on opposite sides by a denser material, for example, MgO boards, sheet metal, vinyl, sheetrock, etc.
  • the cladding can be held in place by adhesives, or by other means.
  • a disclosed foam insulating barrier is formed of two strata, each with a plurality of spaced, parallel ridges. The ridges of one stratum faces and is perpendicular to the ridges of the other stratum. The ridges of the two strata can be attached together by adhesives or by other means.
  • the disclosed panel can be installed inside a building without the need for conventional framing (studs, and plates).
  • This panel can be installed using U- shaped, metal tracks on the top and bottom of the panel.
  • the disclosed bottom track can be nailed, screwed, or adhesively secured in place before sliding the panel into the track.
  • the disclosed upper track can be similarly installed and the disclosed embodiment may or may not have an outwardly projecting tab with a fastener hole, This upper track can be positioned atop the panel before securing the track.
  • the panel itself can be held in place with fasteners or by adhesive means
  • the clearance between adjacent ridges of each of the two strata provides a groove that can be used as a mechanical chase for utility feeds such as plumbing or electrical wiring. Because the ridges of the two strata are transverse, the utility feeds can be routed either vertically or horizontally, depending on which grooves of the two strata are utilized.
  • Panels of this type will also have a degree of soundproofing or sound deadening qualities.
  • the foam core by itself has some acoustical attenuating properties.
  • the transverse ridges of the opposing foam strata reduces the surface contact between the strata to a number of relatively small points, thereby greatly reducing the ability of sound to travel from one stratum to the other.

  • MgO board board made with a mineral based material, namely magnesium oxide.
  • some embodiments may use gypsum wallboard, cementitious board, sheet metal, plywood, other wood composites such as OSB, etc, Some embodiments will use mass-loaded vinyl for sound proofing purposes,
  • the gypsum wallboard When used, the gypsum wallboard may be plain with paint or fabric or vinyl finishes. When used, the sheet metal may be of various gauges with any of a variety of coatings and finishes.
  • layer 16 can be made of different material than layer 18, e.g. wallboard on one side and MgO board on the other. In still other embodiments, one of the layers 16 or 18 can be eliminated. In this embodiment the height and width of components 12, 14, 16, and 18 are the same, i.e. they have a square outline. It will be appreciated that outlines with proportions other than a square outline will be more prevalent.
  • Strata 14 and 16 are fabricated from a rigid foam material made from substances such as polyurethane, polyisocyanurate, polystyrene, EPS (expanded polystyrene), etc. A variety of other materials are feasible, and good results are achieved when external layers 16 and 18 are denser than strata 12 and 14.
  • Strata 12 and 14 may be fabricated by extrusion, molding, or other fabrication processes.
  • the inside face of strata 14 is corrugated and has a plurality of parallel ridges 14A, in this embodiment nine such ridges. Eight grooves 14B are interleaved with ridges 14A. Except for the outermost ridges, ridges 14A have a common polygonal cross-section; namely, a symmetrical trapezoidal shape with slanted sides converging to a flat top. The two outermost of the ridges 14A are truncated; that is, their cross-sections are halved along a longitudinally disposed plane that is transverse to layers 16 and 18.
  • stratum 12 may be identical to stratum 14. Therefore, stratum 12 will also have nine ridges 12A with eight grooves 12B between them. However, ridges 12A have been rotated 90° and are therefore transverse to ridges 14A. Thus in Figure 1 ridges 12A are vertical, while ridges 14A are horizontal. Using this orientation, strata 12 and 14 are cemented together as shown in
  • the nine ridges 12A will have 81 intersections with the nine ridges 14A. Ridges 12A and 14A may be secured together at these intersections with structural adhesives, and general purpose adhesives such as a polyurethane adhesive, cyanoacrylate adhesive, epoxy, polyisocyanurate adhesive, etc.
  • the tops of ridges 12A and 14A, and the floors of grooves 12B and 14B will each be 1 7/8" (4.76 cm) wide.
  • the height of ridges 12A and 14A (and thus the depth of grooves 12B and 14B) will each be 1 1/8" (2.86 cm). With these dimensions, the ridge to ridge spacing will be 4 inches (10 cm).
  • the overall thickness of strata 12 and 14 is 2 3/4" (7 cm) and thus when stacked transversely, the overall thickness of the stack is 5 1/2" (14 cm). This thickness is comparable to the larger dimension of a 2X 6 stud (whose nominal dimension is actually 5 1/2" or 14 cm). It will be appreciated that these ridges 12A and 14A and grooves 12B and
  • 14B may have different dimensions and different shapes in other embodiments.
  • Cladding 16 and 18 can be secured to the outsides of strata 12 and 14, respectively, by adhesives similar to those used to secure the strata together.
  • the four components of panel 10 are permanently secured together and can be sold as a single, rigid unit.
  • panel 110 is approximately 4' x 8' (1.2 m x 2.4m) and is longer than the previously illustrated panel, which was approximately a 4 foot square (1.2 m square). In some cases panel 110 will be 4 feet x 10 feet (1.2 m x 3 m), or 4 feet by 12 feet (1.2 m x 3.7 m). Components in this Figure corresponding to those of Figure 1 have the same reference numerals but increased by 100.
  • straturp 114 has the same cross-section as previously mentioned stratum 14, but is twice as long, i.e. 8 feet long (2.4 m long).
  • stratum 112 is twice as wide and therefor has a greater number of ridges 112A. While one can create stratum 112 by butting together two of the previously mentioned strata (strata 12 of Figure 1), better structural integrity will be achieved by fabricating stratum 112 as a single molded or extruded unit. Note that the number of ridges 112 does not precisely double because at the midline two smaller (halved) ridges form one ridge to create a total of seventeen ridges.
  • FIGS 4A-4C describe a technique for making strata 212 and 214.
  • strata 212 and 214 are shown as complementary slabs that can be separated to form ridges 212A and 214A, respectively. This separation can be achieved by passing a single rectangular slab through a corrugated blade that will cut the ridges 212A and 214A.
  • strata 212 and 214 can be separately fabricated by extrusion, cutting, or molding. In either case, two separate strata are achieved as shown in Figure 4B.
  • stratum 214 has been rotated 90° relative to strata 212 to form an insulating barrier that can serve as a foam core for a panel of the type previously described.
  • stratum 214 has been rotated 90° relative to strata 212 to form an insulating barrier that can serve as a foam core for a panel of the type previously described.
  • this technique can be employed to create panels with different proportions. For example, for a 4' x 8' panel, one would double the width of the profile shown in Figure 4A, effectively doubling the number of ridges 214A
  • One would then split one stratum (e.g. stratum 214) in half longitudinally (parallel to the ridges), and split the other stratum (e.g. stratum 212) in half transversely (perpendicular to the ridges) .
  • each of the longitudinally split strata would be paired with of one the transversely split strata, with their respective ridges rotated 90° as before.
  • Figure 4A shows the profile of Figure 4A secured together to produce an insulating barrier that is 5 1/2" thick (14 cm thick). This thickness is consistent with a 2 x 6 stud.
  • strata 312 and 314 have been scaled down, and have the same reference numerals but increased by 100.
  • ridges 312A and 314A, and grooves 312B and 314B have the same width and pitch as before, but now have a height and depth of 1 1/8" (2.8 cm).
  • this embodiment is much like that of Figure 4, and components corresponding thereto have the same reference numeral but increased by 200.
  • the cross sections of ridges 412A and 414A are no longer polygonal but have curved sides.
  • This sinuous profile is essentially a sinusoid with clipped amplitudes.
  • Track 20 is a U-shaped channel with parallel walls 20A and 20B interconnected by web 20C.
  • Track 20 is sized to embrace the lower edge of panel 110 on the outside, or with its up-standing walls 20A and 20B inserted between the core components (core 12.14 of Figure 1) and the skin components (skin components 16 and 18 of Figure 1).
  • Web 20C has a fastener hole 22 and nail 24 is shown about to be driven through that hole into the floor or floor joists, although in some cases a screw or other fastener can be used instead of a nail, In some cases the fastener 24 is driven through the center of the track 20 with the panel 110 being inserted afterwards.
  • Walls 20A and 20B each have a fastener hole 34, Screw 36 is shown about to be driven through the hole 34 in wall 20A to hold panel 110 in place, although a nail or fastener can be used instead.
  • Upper track 26 is also shown as a U-shaped channel having a parallel pair of walls 26A and 26B interconnected by web 26C.
  • a tab 28 is punched out of the middle of wall 26A, and is coplanar with web 26C.
  • Fastener holes 38A and 38B are formed in wall 26A on opposite sides of tab 26A. Screw 40 is shown about to be driven through hole 38B to secure panel 110 in place (although a nail can be used instead of screw 40).
  • Tab 28 has a fastener hole 30, and nail 32 is shown about to be driven through this hole to secure track 26 to the ceiling rafters or joists Again, a screw or other fastener can be used instead of a nail. While a single, relatively short track 20 is shown along the bottom of panel
  • track 20 can be made relatively long with a number of fastener holes to hold panel 110 securely.
  • a number of track sections identical to track 26 can be installed across the top of panel 110, or the track can be lengthened and provided with a number of fastener holes.
  • the installation may be performed with non-hardening acoustical sealant or foam tape.
  • this sealant or tape can be used on opposite sides of web 20C to secure the web to the floor and to panel 110
  • Such sealant or tape can also be used to secure track 26 to the ceiling, in which case the track 26 need not be manufactured with fastening tab 28, and can instead be a simple U-shaped channel, identical to channel 20.
  • panel 110 has been installed as previously described in connection with Figure 7. As part of this installation, one of the horizontal grooves 114B is being used as a mechanical chase, through which pipe P is routed Pipe P may be part of a plumbing arrangement, for example, a water utility feed. In other cases pipe P may be a metal conduit through which electrical wires are routed. In still other cases pipe P may carry natural gas for a stove, dryer, furnace, etc. In still other cases, pipe P may constitute electrical wiring, telephone lines, cable television lines, etc
  • stratum 112 has a number of vertical grooves (grooves 112B of Figure 3), and routed through one of those grooves is a conduit C.
  • Conduit C is a drain to a sanitary sewer, although in some cases the conduit may be a vent, a water feed line, a natural gas line, electrical wiring, telephone lines, cable television lines, etc. Because the grooves in strata 112 and 114 do not overlap, separate elements can cross over each other inside panel 110 in the vertical and horizontal directions.
  • Electrical wiring W is routed through another one of the grooves 114B in stratum 114. This wiring W emerges through a hole 34 cut through stratum 112 to provide access to groove 114B Hole 34 can be cut either before or after panel 110 is installed in place. An electrical outlet may be installed in hole 34 in the usual fashion, although this method may be used for installing an electrical switch or other electrical devices.

  • Spline 36 will be inserted halfway into groove 14B and may be held in place by a fastener (not shown) driven through stratum 112 or 114 into the spline.
  • a fastener (not shown) driven through stratum 112 or 114 into the spline.
  • an adhesive may be used instead of a fastener.
  • a second panel similar to panel 110 will be slid into position such that the exposed portion of spline 36 will slide into a matching groove in the incoming panel.
  • Spline 36 may be secured in the second panel via fasteners or adhesives.
  • utility feeds P and W will be installed after the second panel is in place, so that these feeds may be simultaneously route
  • spline 36 While one spline 36 is illustrated, in some embodiments multiple splines may be used at the vertical joint between adjoining panels.
  • Panels of the foregoing type have numerous advantages.
  • the panels have inherent rigidity and structural strength so that they can be readily used in a building, particularly for non-load-bearing, internal walls or walls that do not constitute the support structure of the building. As just described, installation can proceed without the need for conventional framing (studs, and top and bottom plates).
  • the panel has intrinsic mechanical chases that facilitate the installation of utility feeds (plumbing, electrical, gas, telephone, etc.), as well as drains and vents.
  • the panel can be made with materials that are inherently waterproof, fire resistant, and resistant to mold, fungus and insects.
  • the foam core and the air trapped between the foam strata provide good thermal insulating properties.
  • the panels will also have a degree of soundproofing or sound deadening qualities.
  • the above described foam core by itself has some acoustical attenuating properties.
  • the transverse ridges of the opposing strata reduce the surface contact between the strata to a number of small points, thereby greatly reducing the ability of sound to travel from one stratum to the other.
  • securing the panel with non-hardening acoustical sealant, gaskets, or foam tape avoids transmitting sound between rooms separated by the ceiling or floor, into the panel.
  • the panels may be installed against existing vertical structure in a building, e.g., on the inside of an exterior wall.
  • the panels can be installed in tracks built into a building structure and covered with molding.
  • panels may be stacked and secured in place as a stack to enhance rigidity, soundproofing, etc.
  • the panels may be mounted in a horizontal plane.
  • Panels may also be used as part of a cabinet, built- in shelf, or other architectural feature.
  • the panel may be sealed and used for outside applications.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une barrière isolante d'un panneau comprenant une première strate et une seconde strate, chacune comprenant une pluralité de nervures qui se font face, et s'étendent en travers l'une de l'autre. Un jeu entre au moins certaines paires adjacentes des nervures fournit un châssis mécanique qui s'étend à travers au moins la majeure partie du panneau. Un bardage recouvrant au moins un côté de la barrière isolante est plus dense que la barrière. Le châssis mécanique se présente sous la forme d'une rainure à travers laquelle une charge d'utilité peut être acheminée lorsque le panneau doit être monté dans un bâtiment.
